NATIVE

After doing a post about being "inspired by brandon boyd" I decided it was time to get out the pen and paper and do some illustration myself! I always go through phases of sketching... I think how often I draw is determined by how inspired I am.
I've always been quite interested in Native American Indian culture... Their connection to the land, animals, people... And this illustration is the result of my curiosity. It's actually made me want to do a bit of research on its people. Perhaps I should pay a visit to the library tomorrow.

I sketched the girl out with pencil and then went over it with my beloved Staedtler fineliners (I can't go anywhere without them!) I'd have loved to actually paint her... But unfortunately I didn't have the time. So I coloured her in photoshop instead.
Hope you're having a lovely week xx
